Power Supply unit
Power connection to PSU is via a 3-pin power D-connector
on the front of the unit.
The PSU is a single output isolated DC-DC converter. The
Converter provides 12V DC output.
The output circuits have blocking diodes for protection
When two PSUs are connected in parallel via the backplane.

If this timer expires, the operating system (OS) and application
software restarted.
This restart is service non-affecting, except for loss of
Management connectivity during the restart time.

Tributary Interfaces
Tributary Card is a 63 E1/DS1 tributary interface card,
houses in the tributary line card.
This provides line interfaces to 63 E1 channels respectively
in both, add and drop directions.
This maps and demaps the E1 channels into SDH frame for
the tributary card to make the cross connects.
The software control is with the processor card through a
generic processor bus.
Power consumption is 14.6W at 12V.

no direct entry of the dust from the outer environment
Temperature requirement : Optimum 18 to 23 degree cellcious
(Maximum Temp. should not be 40 degree cellcious) Air fan should
be
always operated in the equipment itself for circulating the heat
generated.
Lay out should be as per the standards prescribed by the
BSNL/supplier
and should be approved by the competent authority
Antistatic flooring
Rack Installation –
ensure that the rack is not overly congested,
because each unit generates heat. An enclosed
